RAGS TO RICHES, Benicia's best kept secret, located at the Historic Arsenal Park, stays extremely busy in down economy.

A SHOPPING DESTINATION!

Rags to Riches, a consignment shop, a hidden treasure, a place

not so easily found but well worth the hunt. "You have to seek it out, find it, all part of the fun," says Remy Regala, owner.

It's about stumbling upon quality things you cannot find just anywhere: that perfect-for-you piece of clothing or just-right home decor, all at prices you can feel good about paying.

With a variety of selections to choose from, you'll have a wonderful shopping experience.

In today's shaky economy, buying second-hand

is especially attractive to consumers as they keep a close eye on their pocketbooks.

Consignment shops sell top name-brand merchandise at a fraction or less of their original cost. The great thing about resale shops is that they mostly sell high-end items, and everything is either gently used or new with the tags still attached.
